Attribution & Authentication projects are generally concerned with discovering who made unsigned works of art (Who is the artist? Is it the real thing?). We are also involved with authenticating signed works as well (Is it the real thing?). These projects involve our interaction with a worldwide network of art historians and art research facilities. We have made many important discoveries over the years (see below). To assist in our research, our firm has a non-lending art research library with some 2,000 books. The Kline Art Research Library also serves as a community educational resource open to scholars, artists, and students by appointment, at no charge.

Our parent company, Fred R. Kline Gallery, established in 1979, exhibits works of art to the public and guides the marketing, brokering and sales of fine art, 15th-20th centuries.
